The Indian feather headband is a narrow braided cord in brown and cream, with loose cords adorned with feathers and beads on one side. The most striking features are the two long feathers with a teal eye, which hang down to the shoulder along with yellow, pink, and grey speckled feathers. You wear the band low across your forehead, and it is designed for women who want to complete their Indian or hippie look for Carnival or a flower power party.

How does a feather headband differ from a full feather headdress?
The Indian feather headband lets its feathers hang down one side of the face, while a full feather headdress places them upright around the head like a crown. This makes the look less like a chief and more like someone with feathers in their hair, a style that was also widely worn in the hippie culture of the late 1960s. If you want a tall crown of feathers above your head, you are looking for a feather headdress. If you want a single accessory that suits both an Indian outfit and a flower power look, choose this band.
A complete outfit to match the feather headband
A suede-look poncho or dress with fringes matches the brown tones of the cord and turns it into an Indian outfit. For the hippie version, add round glasses with pink lenses and earrings with a peace sign, with the pink feather picking up that color naturally. Wear your hair loose, and the feathers will fall between the locks while the cord remains visible across your forehead as a thin line.
